I don’t know about you, but I sure learn a lot from my dog and cat. They never attempt anything without first stretching and preparing, and they are always happy to see those they love. What struck me the other day was how Kuma has absolutely no doubts or fears when it comes to his […]
What’s Your Authentic Swing?
I spent yet another weekend in bed. I’ve been battling some kind of crud going on five months now, but that isn’t the point of my blog today. One of the many movies I watched was The Legend of Bagger Vance, a movie from 2000 staring Will Smith and Matt Damon. Will Smith plays Bagger […]
A Safer World Starts at Home
Recently, I was giving a work/life balance training. In it, I shared how I got into the stress management business. I tell the story of my entire life falling apart and not knowing what to do and how to cope because my parents never sat me down and gave me the “stress talk.” I dropped […]
What do your scars say about your life?
Because I’m an active person, I have scars. The more adventurous the life, the more accidents! Each scar tells a story—like the time I crashed a motorcycle going 45 mph—and reminds me that I’m living life to the fullest. I have a forever road tattoo on my left elbow from the motorcycle crash. Other scars […]
We’ve been duped: Social Media warning
We have been told as individuals that we aren’t hip if we aren’t on social media. As businesses, we’ve been told we will shrivel up and die if we don’t use social media. Meanwhile, relationships are being fragmented and broken. We’re becoming disconnected. I feel like it is the scene from the Wizard of Oz […]
Find Your Inner Warrior
I was geared up and ready to go for my morning run when my husband gave me a kiss to say goodbye as he headed out to work. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, “You look like a warrior ready to head into battle.” I chuckled as I looked at myself. I had […]
If you are still married, I am proud of you!
My husband and I just celebrated 19 years of marriage. We were enjoying an evening dip in the pool when he said, “I’m proud of us.” I knew exactly what he was referring to and agreed. You see, we’ve faced a lot of challenges and stresses in our marriage from job losses, illness, deaths of […]
Let’s put the social back into social media, shall we?
I have a love/hate relationship with social media. On Facebook, I enjoy looking at photos of friends and family, learning what they have been up to, and seeing where they have traveled. I do not, however, like the political rants and pushing of products. Some people post hateful, judgmental, and nasty statements designed to divide […]
You are Groot…and What That Actually Means!
Like millions of people, we went to see the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 movie. I thought the music was a little forced this time, but the movie did not disappoint. Our friend, Groot, is just a tiny twig. In the first one, he gave the ultimate sacrifice (his life) to save his friends. […]
October 2016
YOUR HEALTH Speaking of birthdays, I turn the BIG 5-0 on October 1. In my family, that is an accomplishment, so I have been celebrating for months J. Unfortunately, cancer is prominent in my family, and many have died young. This is a huge part of why I strive for a healthy lifestyle each and […]
